← Back to the Paris Series 🗼
A flea-market victory, a scooter that gave up mid-hill (Paris voted them out anyway — 89% said allez, ouste), a close call at the Sacré-Cœur, and one last sunset from the Tour Montparnasse — t'inquiète, you're ready. It could only be... Paris Series Test B 🛴🥷🌇
✅ A quick, simple (dare I say, fun?) window into how your French is doing.
All the colloquial phrases were included in these Paris episodes, so it should keep you accountable and fit in a nice bit of review.
Instructions: Choose the best answer for each question. Mark your answers and use the scoring guide at the end to determine your level. 👍🏼
Newer to French? 6+ is a genuinely good score here — this test is calibrated for where you're heading, not where you started. 🌱

Please Remember! Take what's useful, leave the rest
These tests will help some students - help them stay motivated and help them see their progress.
But if it does the opposite… I encourage you to just move on! Take what's useful, leave the rest is great advice in life and language-learning. Please do not under any circumstances get discouraged and rundown because of the results of this test. That's an order!
